Bootable copy of a Windows 7 mirrored system disk
I have windows7 with a software raid for my system disk. I want to upgrade my system and hence want to do a universal restore of my system disk. I can not.
I broke my mirror, now I have in dynamic system disk. Acronis 2014 premium can only backup by volume from that. I do that and have the 100mb start volume and my C volume. I then restore both to a new disk, but it will not boot, says that the bootmgr is missing. I do the Windows7 startup fix a couple of time. In the end it says it can not find anything more, but the system does still not boot. Help.
( just also did a universal restore from a 2002 compact laptop into a hazwel board - worked!)

Thank you. Actually I was wrong. I backed up with 2012 version and restored with 2014 version. I did all again with 2014 version and now it offered me to restore the MBR as third item (next to C volume and the 100mb volume), all ok now, splendid.
